I have been looking for info on Jack Kevorkian recently. All I know is from 1999 and he was in jail awaiting an appeal. If anyone has some more current info about him, feel free to reply.

Thanx,

He lost a Federal appeal June 26, this year.

Search the Detroit News site from time to time if you really want to keep up.

Oh Yeah! I think he based his appeal for release on the fact that some guy needed him to be the Dr. at some website and there was mention of “feet” or something. 😉

I wonder if anyone has done a study of the death rate at that prison since **the good doc** became a resident.

Inquiring minds may want to know 😛
